The Chozo Searcher was one of the Chozo researchers who inhabited SkyTown, Elysia, a Chozo research facility placed in the skies of the gas giant planet Elysia. While the Searcher's name is unknown, it is known that she is female. Thus, she is so far the only identified Chozo to be confirmed as female (discounting Samus Aran, who is a Human-Chozo hybrid). The Searcher was apparently the first to discover the sentient planet Phaaze; however, this encounter was brief, and little to no information regarding the identity of the planet was discovered.[1] She made her discoveries from the Chozo Observatory, a room in Eastern SkyTown, Elysia designed to document and investigate other planets by the use of Elysian satellites.

When it came time for the Chozo to depart Elysia, the Chozo Searcher requested that the Elysians continue to explore the skies for the mysterious planet.[2] The Elysians finally did find the planet some 1050 years later when Phaaze launched a Leviathan at an unknown planet (possibly the Pirate Homeworld) and the Elysians were able to uncover its origin as a wormhole, leading back to Phaaze.[3]

Ilya Nazarov, the designer of the Chozo Observatory, said of the Searcher statue: "The creatures that created Sky Town looked a bit like birds. I added this statue to remind the player of their origin."
